> Kraft (the joystick company) sells a product they call Exectuive Cursor.... Once upon a time (relatively) long ago I used to build model airplanes. I spent hours pouring over magazines. In those days Kraft was THE premier name in radio-control equipment. (Maybe they still are, I don't know.) While their joysticks were reputed to have the best "feel" in the industry, providing extremely good positioning resolution in combination with their transmitters, receivers, amplifiers, and servo mechanisms, Kraft was not considered a "joystick company". :-) (Of course, from my vantage point I still may have missed something. Perhaps radios were a subset of something else at which Kraft was even better still.) -- Brent Chivers allegra!princeton!orsvax1!brent or perhaps ORS Automation, Inc seismo!caip!topaz!pyrnj!orsvax1!brent 440 Wall St Phone 609-924-1667 Princeton, NJ 08540 FAX 609-924-2413 USA TELEX 4944924 ORSIN ------------- Disclaimer: Our business is vision, but my views are my own.
